Privacy is very important to us. We also understand that privacy is very important to you.
This Privacy Statement ("Privacy Statement") describes what information we collect about you, including when and how we collect it; how we use it; with whom we may share it; and what choices you have regarding our use of your information we gather through this website located at www.athn.org (this “Site”) or through use of our mobile programs (collectively, the "Service").
By accessing, interacting with and/or otherwise using the Service and providing and/or otherwise making available your information to us, (a) you expressly choose to receive certain communications from us and, unless you otherwise indicate, third parties as described in this Privacy Statement and (b) you expressly agree to the privacy practices described herein.
We may change this Privacy Statement at any time and for any reason. We encourage you to look to this Privacy Statement each time you use the Service.
Please read our Terms of Use to understand the general rules about your use of the Service. Except as written in any other disclaimers, policies, terms of use, or other notices on the Service, this Privacy Statement and the Terms of Use are the complete agreement between you and ATHN with respect to your use of the Service.
You may be subject to additional terms that may apply when you access particular services or materials directly from us or by following a link from this Site or text messages we send you.
Introduction
This Privacy Statement will remain in full force and effect, even if your access to, use of and/or participation in connection with the Service or any other particular service, feature, function or promotional activity offered on or through the Service terminates, expires, is suspended or deactivated for any reason. If you do not agree with this Privacy Statement, please do not participate in or use the Service. This Privacy Statement applies regardless of the device you use to access the Service and whether you are accessing the Service as a registered user (i.e., an end user with a User Account) or otherwise.
This Privacy Statement governs only the information collected by us on or through your use of the Service and does not cover any other information collected in any other manner or collected by any other third party, unless specifically stated.
The information we receive, and how we use it, depends on what you do when using the Service. We collect and use your Non-Personal Information (information that is not identifiable to you personally) differently than your Personal Information.
What is Non-Personal Information?
Each time you use the Service, we may automatically collect certain information about you from your computer. This information is collected from your computer's web browser and may include information such as the following ("Non-Personal Information"):
- the type of web browser software you use;
- the name of the domain from which you access the Internet
- the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to this Site
- the date and time you access this Site
If you only read or download information on this Site, we do not collect or learn your name, e-mail address, home address, or other Personal Information about you. We may place a text file called a cookie in the browser files of your computer when you visit this Site or use “embedded scripts”, web beacons and other similar tracking technologies to collection Non-Personal Information as you interact with the Service. The cookie may be stored on your computer's hard drive. The information that we store using cookies is Non-Personal Information and we only use them for the purpose of making our service function. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of this Site may not work properly for you if you do so. We will not allow third parties to place cookies on this Site. We may also use tracking technologies to collect “clickstream” data, such as your device type, operating system and platform, the average time spent using the Service, content viewed and searched for, access times and other relevant statistics, and may assign unique identifiers to your device or other credentials you use to access and/or use the Service for the same purposes.
What Does ATHN Do With Non-Personal Information?
We will use Non-Personal Information to help us make our Service more useful to visitors and for other internal business purposes. We may prepare reports and other materials using Non-Personal Information. Since these reports and materials contain no personal information, we may share them with others.
What is Personal Information?
In some parts of our Service you may have the chance to send us information about yourself. For example, the website may include treatment information, a survey or an e-mail form. The information ("Personal Information") that we collect if you fill out a registration form or survey, or when you ask us to personalize your visits to this Site, may include, for example:
- your name
- address
- cell phone number
- e-mail address
- other Personal Information you provide in the form
It is your responsibility to give us current, complete, truthful and accurate information, including Personal Information, and to keep such information up to date. We cannot and will not be responsible for any problems or liability that may arise if you do not give us accurate, truthful or complete information or Personal Information or you fail to update such information or Personal Information. We will reject and delete any entry that we believe in good faith to be false, fraudulent or inconsistent with this Privacy Statement or our Terms of Use.
How Does ATHN Use Personal Information?
By submitting Personal Information (e.g., your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number), you agree that we may keep a record of it and may use it to respond to your request and provide the Service to you. We also may use your Personal Information to help us in our business, including but not limited to improving the Service and product development.
We may ask you to provide informed consent for us to use your information to conduct research. Your information is always anonymized when we use it for research and only accessed by our biostatistics team to answer specific research questions. You may, at any time, remove your consent for us to continue to collect your information by sending an email message to support@athn.org or continue your participation in any research. As data that we have already collected may have been used for research purposes and be part of any analysis, we may continue to use it, but will stop collecting your data from the date you remove consent.
You may, at any time, request a copy of your Personal Information that we hold. We will provide such information as required by the specific legal requirements of your place of residence.
You may, at any time, request that we remove any information about you from our systems. We will comply with your request in a reasonable timespan, however, any data that we have already used for research purposes may remain in our systems. This data is depersonalized.
We will not sell, exchange or publish your Personal Information.
We will not merge or coalesce your data with any other source for any purpose.
Is ATHN Ever Required to Share Personal Information With Third Parties?
Except as otherwise written in this Privacy Statement, we will keep your Personal Information private and will not share it with others, unless the disclosure is necessary to:
- comply with a law or regulation, court order or other legal process;
- protect our rights or property;
- enforce our Terms of Use or this Privacy Statement; or
- protect someone's health or safety.
We may also disclose your Personal Information to third parties for the purpose of administering and maintaining the Service. We use these third parties to efficiently provide the full range of content, activities, services, features and functions we bring you and we disclose your Personal Information to these third parties for the purpose of providing services to us and our affiliated companies, organizations and initiatives.
What Happens if the Privacy Statement Changes?
If we decide to make a significant change to our Privacy Statement, we will post a notice on the homepage of this Site for a period of not less than thirty (30) days after the change is made.
What About Privacy On Other Sites?
This Site may contain links to other websites. We provide these links for your convenience, but we do not review, control, or monitor the privacy practices of websites operated by others. We are not responsible for the performance of these sites or for your business dealings with them. Your use of other websites is subject to the terms and conditions of those sites, including the privacy policies of those sites.
Are There Special Rules About Children's Privacy?
We care about protecting the online privacy of children. We will not intentionally collect any Personal Information (such as a child's name or e-mail address) from children under the age of 13. As part of our service an adult caregiver of a minor may provide Personal Information to us through the Service. If you think that we have inappropriately collected Personal Information from a child under the age of 13, please contact us immediately.
